I just never post anything, But my name is Luis Islas. You can call me Louie. I currently own a 93 RX-7. I had a 90 T2 before my FD. Funny how my name is 13BLouie and I don't have a 13B anymore. lol I wanted to see what the V8 thing was all about. And I got an amazing deal on my LS1. Got the engine, wiring harness, ECU and a T56 tranny for 1,500. So I couldn't pass on the deal. And I had just finished blowing my rotary. Well hope to meet most of you. I live in LA. Well Fullerton to be exact.

 

What's up Louie. how's the v8 running in your 7, do you like it better?

 

any pics

 

It's fun to drive but I do miss the rotary sound. And it's funny how ppl look over when I pull up next to them.

 

Yes I have some up on my gallery.

 

 

Nice Louie, that thing looks clean!

 

whyd you go v8? jus wonderin

 

Thanks, she actually looks nothing like this anymore. I'll post pics when she's done.

 

I got my LS1 and T56 trans for 1,500 and my rear rotor apex seals had just taken a ****. That's really the only reason. lol

 

im sorry to hear that but at least youve got a torque monster on your hands now xD

 

Hi Louie, that is a good deal I would not have passed myself. I spent that much just on my 13B T alone. And the LS1 is a good alternative being that it is light weight. Is it possible a turbo, or two will be added to your LS1????

 

Hey Louie I was wondering how much you think your car was worth in that first picture when it was "clean." I'm in the market for a stock FD that's why. Thanks

 

It's all good man. The way I see it, everything happens for a reason. The LS is cool and fun to drive. I want to buy another FD and keep it rotary.

 

I want to turbo my LS. But I'm going to focus on my suspension and brakes right now. As soon as that's done I'm definitely going to research a good turbo setup. But after seeing these pics I'm leaning more for a twin turbo set up. lol

 

I got my FD for 15k off the original owner. It's a touring model with black interior. It was completely stock. Had the stock stereo and everything. I think it was worth 15K. But that was 3 years ago.

 

post pic when done i would like to see it

 

Do it!! Do it!! After you finish your suspension and brakes of course .

 

Do you feel the difference in handeling with the heavier V8?

 

With stock struts yes. Handles like ****. But after putting a good set of coilovers the problem went away.
